Money Isn't Important, But You Have To

My Basic Position Is That The More Mixed The Society And The More Mobility There Is In It, The Better. That's What Makes Things Interesting. When You Get A Homogenous Society, It's Very, Very Dull, Whether That's All Working Class Or All Upper Class, Because Everybody Thinks The Same, Everybody Looks The Same.

There Seems To Be A Contradiction In The Fact That There's More Music Around And More Channels Or Downloading Music Or More Channels On Tv, And Yet At The Same Time, In Some Ways It Doesn't Seem To Be As Vital As It Once Was. It Seems To Be Just Another Entertainment Option Or Lifestyle Enhancement Aid Or Something.

I Was Kind Of Reared By Television, But The Bbc, It Still Had That Thing - And People Are Always Invoking That Kind Of Reithian Idea - Where You Could Learn Stuff From It. If You Put A Kid In Front Of A Telly Now To Be Reared By That You'd Just Have A Jibbering Idiot, You Know What I Mean? Just Adverts For A Start. It's Almost Like The Programmes Are An Afterthought, The Real Business Of This Channel Is To Sell You Things And We're Just Going To Space Out Those Announcements With Some Crap To Watch.

For Me, The Great Thing About Music Is That Anybody Can Do It.

Money Isn't Important, But You Have To Have Enough, So You Don't Have To Think About It. Thinking About Money Is A Drag.
